If you are running vmware 4 then you will require nothing at all. Must be legit copy. When upgrading to current version vmware 5, the installer will recognize you have previous version on your computer and will continue with installing it. You should require nothing at all. Always good to have serial number just in case something goes wrong. But I have never seen a proof of purchase being required.
